The film begins with a commercial cartoon of a family leaving home for a holiday.
Title: Family Holiday
Three small children play near to the front door of a white-washed cottage, a car is parked nearby. A woman and two small children walk near to the River Greta followed by the same woman with two older children beside the cottage, a boy plays ball.
The family walks towards the entrance of an outdoor swimming pool, a painted sign reads ‘Ingleton Amateur Swimming Club, Visitors Welcome’. A man and three children swim and play about in the water.
Back at the cottage a young girl brings in the washing which hangs on a line, nearby a man polishes his shoes.
A sign points in the direction of ‘Waterfalls’ and another sign gives admission charges. The family walk along a path, cross a footbridge and admire Ingleton Falls. They take a walk through the surrounding countryside passing a sign for Kim's Dairy Ice Cream. They all enjoy an ice cream, the remains of one is given to a cat which licks the wrapper. They continue their walk.
A young boy carrying a pail comes through a farm gate and purchases meat from R & E Metcalf Butchers van parked nearby. The van drives away and three children close the farm gate behind it.
The family arrive at Ravenglass railway station and take a ride on The Ravenglass and Eskdale Railway. As they approach another station a second miniature locomotive, its carriages fully loaded with passengers, waits to depart heading back towards Ravenglass. Another train pulls into the opposite platform, passengers on board wave. The train continues its journey through the countryside pulling into another station where crowds wait to board.
The engine is turned on a turntable and then steams past. The family sits on the train at Dalegarth station before moving on again passing through Irton Road. Again, another train passes in the opposite direction. The sequence ends on a train pulling into a station.
Two women walk through a garden and stand with a group of children in the doorway of a house. An older girl vigorously shakes the hand of a young boy standing nearby.
The film ends on a man locking up the cottage and driving away in the family car, a hand waves from the backseat window. Speeded up the car reverses back towards the cottage, two children jump out and race to collect the closing inter-title which they place in the car's rear window, everyone waves.
